Overview

• The Port of Oakland commissioners voted unanimously on July 10 to rename Oakland International Airport as Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport.
• The rebrand is designed to put “Oakland” first while highlighting the airport’s central location on San Francisco Bay.
• Oakland’s three-letter code OAK and its “I Fly Oak” logo will remain unchanged under the new name.
• San Francisco International Airport spokesman Doug Yakel warned the change could confuse travelers and dilute SFO’s brand identity.
• San Francisco International Airport is maintaining its appeal in the Ninth Circuit and will challenge the latest renaming decision in court.
